How does the Detect Signature Zones work?
Walk a PDF and pull out every AcroForm /Sig (signature) field — its name, the page it sits on, its rectangle on that page, and whether it has been signed. Useful when routing a PDF through an e-sign workflow that needs to know where to place signature widgets, when auditing a partially-signed contract for outstanding signatures, or when preparing for a Sign PDF tool to add a signature in the right zone.
